I immediately understood the benets of the ACTIVATOR® poles as an alternative to canes, crutches and even walkers. The poles encourage an upright and symmetrical posture, rather than the forward lean of a walker or an
asymmetrical lean from one cane. There is also an immediate reduction in lower extremity pain when weight bearing as well as improved balance and walking confidence.
Based on recent evidence coming from Canada, we recommend
to our patients to progress in the first few weeks, whenever
comfortable, from using crutches to using specialized walking canes (Activator® Poles) to aid mobilization and encourage normalizing their gait pattern.
For the past 5 years I have consistently recommended the
Activator® poles to patients in my surgical practice. They have been especially helpful for spinal stenosis patients who have undergone surgical decompression and extension osteotomy
patients who have had surgery for positive sagittal balance.
They rehabilitate and return patients to optimal function faster.
